We have now great pleasure in publishing our agenda for our 2017 National OCD Conference, this year to be hosted in Glasgow.

Click here to book tickets for the 2017 OCD conference in Glasgow.

Starting next month OCD-UK are launching a brand new project that will make it easier for people affected by OCD to interact with specialists in the treatment of OCD when we launch our 'OCD Webinars'. The webinars will offer people affected by OCD the opportunity to learn from these specialists and even the ability to ask questions.

Our online webinars use modern technology to bring international OCD specialists and people affected by Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) together. The webinar is open to anybody with an interest in learning more about OCD, all you need is a good internet connection to watch and listen to the webinar straight from your internet browser.

The first in a series of live webinar's with OCD specialists starts with Professor Adam Radomsky on Wednesday 8th March from 6pm.

Access is completely free of charge for OCD-UK members, and there is a small nominal charge for non-members. Due to limited space members still need to register to reserve their spot. To register and for further details please visit the webinar website at: http://www.ocdwebinar.org 

Over the last couple of weeks we have had a few emails enquiring about some of our event days for 2016, so grab your diary and jot down these dates:

OCD Awareness Week - like always will take place during the second full week of October, so this year will be 9th-15th October 2016.
Annual OCD Conference - we are still finalising our plans, however will again take place on a Saturday in late October or early November, details to be confirmed soon.

And for those who want to get active by participating in a fundraising event, we have guaranteed places available for the following events, where we are also seeking volunteers to come along and cheer on our fantastic fund-raisers:

Later this month OCD-UK volunteer Rastarella will be hosting an evening of live music in Nottingham on behalf of OCD-UK. The music fundraiser will include local artists including IamStarz, Monique Henry, Emily Franklin, Elena Hargreaves, Daisy Godfrey and another OCD-UK volunteer performing, Dan Heathcote.

Entry costs just £5 with proceeds coming to our charity, so if you are East Midlands based or just fancy a great night of music then come along to the Maze in Nottingham from 8pm on Friday 26th June.

Volunteers needed for awareness raising events to be held in partnership with South West Trains during May 2015.

South West trains recognise the importance of championing mental health and, as such, have asked OCD-UK, along with other mental health charities to attend several events they are running for Mental health Awareness Week (11th – 17th May 2015).

We need volunteer support for these events (click read more for the dates). We will be talking to the general public about OCD, challenging any stigmatic attitudes we experience and offering information, advice and guidance where necessary. We will be gifting freebies to incentivise our conversations and fundraising too, so there are lots of different ways you can get involved. Volunteers must be able to travel and over 16. So if you can attend one, or more of these events please do get in touch!
